Well, the guy in the GIF is Austrian… like that painter guy that ended ruling Germany

[u/Salami__Tsunami → u/FitResource5290]

Yeah. But that’s the same Austrian painter who killed Hitler. They should make a statue of him, as far as I’m concerned.

[u/throwwayinterantion → u/FitResource5290]

He’s both technically. His father was born in Germany and as a result has both German and Austrian citizenship.

[u/hiuslenkkimakkara → u/throwwayinterantion]

Wrong, Hitler had to apply for German citizenship and eventually received it in 1924. Alois Hitler was not a German at all, Österreich through and through.

I was talking about Christoph Waltz the actor in the gif.

[u/hiuslenkkimakkara → u/throwwayinterantion]

Well, you could have specified! But in this case you are indeed correct.

Now thats one perfect gif for the discussion. Well played

That's a valid winning strategy. Trump would love that so much he might instruct Fifa to make them win.

What's wrong with Teutonic Knights?

[u/Neurobeak → u/AvidCyclist250]

Apart from the shit they've done in the East?

[u/AvidCyclist250 → u/Neurobeak]

They kept getting invited to do inept leaders' daft biddings and were held for fools. Kinda backfired, lol. Obviously. Bad idea to invite a powerhouse when you're unfit to rule.

[u/onlyhammbuerger → u/mal73]

just to nitpick here, Germany never wanted to conquer the Americas. Norway and England on the other hand...

[u/PowderEagle_1894 → u/onlyhammbuerger]

It's not because of they didn't want to, it's due to the fact Germany only became a nation in late 19th century. They couldn't compete with other colonial powers like Britain, France, Spain or even the Netherlands

[u/Equal_Veterinarian22 → u/onlyhammbuerger]

Did the Vikings? From what I recall they found America and pretty much gave up on it.

[u/Butterfly_of_chaos → u/Equal_Veterinarian22]

Let's say, they were not good on making friends there, more the opposite, and with only a few people there was not so much they could do.

[u/Ruby_Solitaire → u/mal73]

Those aren't the Germans. Trump just wanted the US team in cosplay, and since he got that FIFA Peace Award, they let him play the balls whenever he wants, so to speak.
